Zone1 Can you find the Flaw in Atheist Speaker Christopher Hitchens' Logic Here.

How many times do I need to address this?

Feel free to NOT address it.

 

[SaxonJackson]

Hichens claims that mankind has roughly been around for 200,000 years. He fails to mention how the first human came into existence.

He hopes we'll believe that two non-humans gave birth to the first human but fails to mention how that first human was able to reproduce.

 

[alang1216]

Nope. Same God. Gnostics couldn't figure it out either.

Same God, different theology.

 

[Meriweather]

I'll let you make that call, I am not qualified.

I am speaking of a decision that is in your own hands.

 

[ding]

Same God, different theology.

Jesus corrected religious misconceptions.

Feel free to NOT address it.

Your interpretations of OT passages are self serving. You aren't looking for understanding. You are looking for gotchas. Very similar to what Pharisees did with Jesus. If you think you have a gotcha moment, I suggest you check with google first before wasting my time.

The decision as to what is real is NOT up to me. What IS up to me is to learn to tell truth from fiction.

 

[alang1216]

Jesus corrected religious misconceptions.

So the prophets who came before were wrong? How could that be if God sent them?

A tiny number of bones from extinct species of apes aren't proof of 'evolution', and you're right, many mutations of the exact same types, and of both sexes, at the same time is just ridiculously improbable, not to mentions it take over a hundred of them each at the same time to sustain reproduction and grow over time and avoid extinction. It's absurd.

Your interpretations of OT passages are self serving. You aren't looking for understanding. You are looking for confirmation.

It is your understanding of evolution that is absurd.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

It is your understanding of evolution that is absurd.

You lack of understanding of mathematical probabilities and genetic adaptation probably does look absurd to your uneducated superstitions. No argument there.

Do you think this is a gotcha moment? The real question is why would you need a gotcha moment?

Now... do you believe the gospels recorded that Jesus corrected religious misconceptions or not?

Incorrect. They make sense. You don't want them to make sense. It would ruin your party.

Ancient Israelites crafted narratives of historical events to teach lessons about the covenant, obedience, justice and their relationship with God. Try googling it.

Great questions but I'll let you answer mine first.

Which prophet were you thinking? Can you cite the verse?

Your interpretations are just that, interpretations. They may accurate, they may be fantasy.

 

[ding]

Great questions but I'll let you answer mine first.

Actually it should be self evident that Jesus corrected religious misconceptions. It's all throughout the gospels. You could probably even google it and get a list of things Jesus corrected. But I don't think any of them will support your gotcha moment.

So which prophets do you believe Jesus was correcting?

 

[ding]

Your interpretations are just that, interpretations. They may accurate, they may be fantasy.

Did you ask google if ancient Israelites crafted narratives of historical events to teach lessons about the covenant, obedience, justice and their relationship with God?

Because that's not just my belief. That's reality. Maybe stop reading ancient texts like you attended Westboro Baptist University.

If Jesus corrected the religion, which prophets made the errors?
